For example, one or more methods such as is disclosed in U.S.Pat. No. 7,724,957, which is incorporated by reference herein in itsentirety, can be used.

Via speech recognition methods, wristband 1000 is constructed to receiveaudio inputs from the user that assist wristband 1000 in determiningthat no characters have been indicated by motion of the finger of theuser. Wristband 1000 can be constructed to transmit signals indicativeof writing to a server via a network. Responsive to a user selection,the server can cause writings of the user to be uploaded to a website.

Wristband 1000 can comprise a cardiac monitor 1600 that is constructedto monitor a heart rate of the user. Wristband 1000 can be constructedto determine a room of a structure responsive to an analysis of theheart rate of the user. Wristband 1000 can be constructed to render acolor of a plurality of colors, each of color representing thedetermined location in the structure.

In certain exemplary embodiments, a predetermined letter can behighlighted, illuminated, and/or rendered responsive to a heart rateexceeding a predetermined threshold.

FIG. 2 is a side view of an exemplary embodiment of a ring 2000. Ring2000 can comprise a camera 2200. Ring 2000 comprises a wirelesstransceiver 2100 constructed to transmit images. A wristband (e.g.,wristband 1000 of FIG. 1) is constructed to determine a room of astructure responsive to images transmitted by the ring. The wristbandcan be constructed to render a color of a plurality of colors, each ofcolor representing the determined location in the structure.

In certain exemplary embodiments, finger attachment 3000 can trigger arecordation of audio through a speaker/microphone (e.g.,speaker/microphone 1400 of FIG. 1). In certain exemplary embodimentscause the speaker/microphone to ask a user for information concerningfinger movement (e.g., the speaker/microphone can ask a question such as“did you just write an “r”?, or “please spell out what your wrote”?) anda response can be received via the speaker/microphone. An informationdevice comprised by the wristband, or communicatively coupled to thewristband, can compare responses of the user to programmed choices ofcharacters and/or writing. Thereby, machine learning can be facilitated.

Certain exemplary embodiments can suggest completion of phrases basedupon an initial detected character, word, or phrase written by the user.The completion of phrases suggestions can be rendered on a userinterface of the wristband. A touch sensitive surface comprised by thewristband can receive a touch input by the user accepting one or more ofthe suggested completion of phrases. For example, if a user writes“Trisha is so awesome no one wants to say it aloud”, the informationdevice comprised by and/or coupled to the wristband can suggest a phrasethe next time the name “Trisha” is detected. For example, a suggestionof “is my friend” might be the suggested completion of phrases.

-   -   there is no requirement for the inclusion of any particular        described or illustrated characteristic, function, activity, or        element, any particular sequence of activities, or any        particular interrelationship of elements;    -   no characteristic, function, activity, or element is        “essential”;    -   any elements can be integrated, segregated, and/or duplicated;    -   any activity can be repeated, any activity can be performed by        multiple entities, and/or any activity can be performed in        multiple jurisdictions; and    -   any activity or element can be specifically excluded, the        sequence of activities can vary, and/or the interrelationship of        elements can vary.

Moreover, when any number or range is described herein, unless clearlystated otherwise, that number or range is approximate. When any range isdescribed herein, unless clearly stated otherwise, that range includesall values therein and all subranges therein. For example, if a range of1 to 10 is described, that range includes all values therebetween, suchas for example, 1.1, 2.5, 3.335, 5, 6.179, 8.9999, etc., and includesall subranges therebetween, such as for example, 1 to 3.65, 2.8 to 8.14,1.93 to 9, etc.

When any claim element is followed by a drawing element number, thatdrawing element number is exemplary and non-limiting on claim scope. Noclaim of this application is intended to invoke paragraph six of 35 USC112 unless the precise phrase “means for” is followed by a gerund.

Any information in any material (e.g., a United States patent, UnitedStates patent application, book, article, etc.) that has beenincorporated by reference herein, is only incorporated by reference tothe extent that no conflict exists between such information and theother statements and drawings set forth herein. In the event of suchconflict, including a conflict that would render invalid any claimherein or seeking priority hereto, then any such conflicting informationin such material is specifically not incorporated by reference herein.

Accordingly, every portion (e.g., title, field, background, summary,description, abstract, drawing figure, etc.) of this application, otherthan the claims themselves, is to be regarded as illustrative in nature,and not as restrictive, and the scope of subject matter protected by anypatent that issues based on this application is defined only by theclaims of that patent.

What is claimed is:
 1. A system comprising: an attachment coupled to ahand of a user, the attachment comprising a laser sensor, the attachmentconstructed to cause a first signal to be transmitted via a firstwireless transmitter responsive to motion of a finger of the userdetermined by the laser sensor, the attachment comprising wirelesstransceiver; a wristband, the wristband constructed to receive the firstsignal from the attachment, the wristband constructed to analyze thefirst signal from the attachment to determine that characters are beingwritten by the user, the wristband constructed to cause an audio ofcharacters written by the user to be played by a speaker/microphone orto an earpiece port.
 2. The system of claim 1, wherein: via speechrecognition methods, the wristband is constructed to receive audioinputs from the user that assist the wristband in machine learning ofcharacters indicated by motion of the finger of the user.
 3. The systemof claim 1, wherein: via speech recognition methods, the wristband isconstructed to receive audio inputs from the user that assist thewristband in determining that no characters have been indicated bymotion of the finger of the user.
 4. The system of claim 1, wherein: thewristband is constructed to transmit a second signal indicative ofwriting to a server via a network; and responsive to a user selection,the server causes writings of the user to be uploaded to a website. 5.The system of claim 1, wherein: the wristband comprises a cardiacmonitor that is constructed to monitor a heart rate of the user; thewristband is constructed to determine a room of a structure responsiveto an analysis of the heart rate of the user; and the wristband isconstructed to render a color of a plurality of colors, the colorindicating the determined room in the structure.
 6. The system of claim1, wherein: a ring, the ring comprising a camera, the ring comprising asecond wireless transmitter constructed to transmit images; thewristband is constructed to determine a room of a structure responsiveto images transmitted by the ring; and the wristband is constructed torender a color of a plurality of colors, the color indicating thedetermined room in the structure.
 7. The system of claim 1, wherein: aring, the ring comprising a camera, the ring comprising a secondwireless transmitter constructed to transmit images; the wristband isconstructed to determine another person is in proximity of the user; andthe wristband is constructed to render an alert to the user concerningproximity of another person.
 8. The system of claim 1, furthercomprising: a ring, the ring comprising a camera, the ring comprising asecond wireless transmitter constructed to transmit images; and thewristband is constructed to analyze the images to determine one or morecharacteristics of each image; and the one or more characteristics ofeach image is rendered via the wristband.
